Arguments

Required arguments

[-n|--director] path * The director on which to show or change the delay for automatic unbanishment.

Optional arguments

[-i|--interval] [ seconds] Number of seconds the director firmware waits before unbanishing a banished storage

volume (LUN).

Range: 20 seconds - no upper limit.

Default: 30 seconds.

* - argument is positional.

Description

See “Banished storage volumes (LUNs)” in the storage-volume unbanish command description.

At regular intervals, the metro node directors look for logical units that were previously banished. If metro node finds banished

logical units, it unbanishes them. This process happens automatically and continuously, and includes a delay interval with a

default value of 30 seconds.

Every 30 seconds the process looks for previously banished logical units and unbanishes any it finds.

Use this command to display change the delay interval.

NOTE:

This change in the interval value is not saved between restarts of the director firmware (NDU, director reboots).

When the director firmware is restarted, the interval value is reset to the default of 30 seconds.

Use the auto-unbanish-interval --director director command to display the current delay (in seconds) for

automatic unbanishment on the specified director.

Use the auto-unbanish-interval --director director --interval interval command to change the delay timer for

the specified director to the specified number of seconds.

The default metric for setting the --interval argument is seconds, but minutes and hours, and days are accepted. The

following are valid values for the --interval argument: 2s, 2second, 2seconds, 2sec, 2min, 2minute, 2minutes, 2hr, 2hours,

2hour.

NOTE: The interval is displayed in seconds.

Example

In the following example:

● The auto-unbanish-interval --director director --interval interval command changes the delay timer to

200 seconds.

● The auto-unbanish-interval --director director command displays the new setting.

VPlexcli:/> storage-volume auto-unbanish-interval --director director-1-1-A --

interval 200

VPlexcli:/> storage-volume auto-unbanish-interval --director director-1-1-A

200 seconds
